Este artículo se adentra en el ‘topos exílico’ de la comunidad surrealista europea en México a través de los vínculos creativos entre Remedios Varo y Leonora Carrington. Ambas artistas configuran una ‘heterotopía’ que funciona como un espacio ‘trans-doméstico’: un espacio performativo y creativo donde, desde su exilio-género, transforman y superaran el significado de los espacios domésticos-cotidianos mediante propuestas plásticas y discursivas críticas. Su obra teatral conjunta El Santo Cuerpo Grasoso, ejemplifica este contra-espacio lúdico-performativo que permite la subversión de discursos surrealistas, patriarcales y de género.
